I have been cyber stalking this gym for over a year, since they opened. Admittedly, I was too intimidated to go in at that time, though I really wanted to.That was a huge mistake. I should have joined a year ago....I’ve been coming here for 6 weeks now, and from day one everyone has been extremely kind, helpful and exceptionally welcoming.The coaches are exceedingly knowledgeable in all aspects of their sport, including nutrition, and are excited to share it with anyone, at any level. They are super supportive and very patient.The other members are super nice and willing to help you out with pointers, or even just moral support.This gym is very much a family, who support one another. You’ll find that we all come from different walks of life with different jobs/careers, different cultures and different backgrounds.It doesn’t matter where you come from, or what kind of shape you are in. If you are willing to work hard, you will fit in here, 100% guaranteed.**FOR WOMEN: Though all of the classes help you get in shape, and learn to fight, the women’s self defense classes are invaluable. There is a membership option for just the women’s self defense, if that’s all you are interested in. Please come and bring your mothers, sisters and daughters (teenager and above). Every women should be in this series.**

AMAZING!!!! gym in DFW area! This is defiantly a have to see if your in Plano Tx and love Mma! Come try a class you will no be disappointed! I travel 4 hours just to get some legit training! This place does not disappoint!! Wanna fight, wanna get a good workout, wanna be the best you, then this is the spot! Come get some!!!!

So where do we begin... first we came to this gym to support my stepson and then we decided to join. Within two weeks we noticed major improvements in our kiddo and just seeing those changes that have been for the better makes us so happy to be part of this gym. We have legit have even started training as well and it has made us feel all the better and all the more energized to keep this momentum going. There are several gyms and coaches out there but finding a combo that provides confidence and encouragement to keep going is like finding a diamond in the rough. Yet here we are, so definitely check it out!

Joining this gym has honestly been one of the best choices I ever made in my life, its not like any other gym I have ever been too for there is such an amazing and friendly environment. Here at Mcsweeny Martial arts all the techniques that are taught and demonstrated have been tested to the highest level and will actually benefit you unlike all the BS you find at your average gym. Our head coach is a living legend who has been all around the world and trained with many many different top level fighters and coaches such as Ricky Lundell, Allister Overeem, GSP, Donald cowboy Cerone, and the list just goes on and on and on.It is also the largest gym in the entire DFW area and honestly one of the best Gyms in the world.

We went in and spoke to James and explained that my husband was about to leave for the military and he wanted to train before he left. James completely understood and said it wasn’t a problem and even pointed at the “veteran owned” sign hanging up in the back. We signed and began. No mention of anything other than “let’s do this and get you started.” When the time came for him to leave we did exactly what we were instructed to do. We emailed our cancellation notice to the email we were supposed to, which went to one of the owners.The response back was instantly a different type of treatment than we had received with James. We were told for the first time that there was a 30 day notice requirement and we owed for the month coming up, even if we weren’t going to be in the area. We wrote back and politely explained that was NOT the deal James presented to us. And this time the response was aggressive, accusative and unprofessional. He kept accusing us of trying to place blame and lies on James. We were completely shocked at this chain of responses. All the while we heard nothing from James. But this owner proceeded to take money out of our account.We finally had no choice but to place a stop payment at the bank. They threatened us with collections.NOW THREE MONTHS LATER, after no contact and no communication, McSweeney MMA changed the amount and the customer ID on the payment and secretly ran a large payment from our bank on a holiday weekend. We contacted our bank and they said that was the only way they could have surpassed the stop payment. The bank admitted it was shady and unprofessional and they are working to reverse it.Go into this business if you must knowing they have no plans to back verbal agreements and exceptions, they will go from kind to instant unprofessional douches and verbally attack you, and they will do shady tactics to get the money they think you owe them…even if you don’t.None of this is made up. No matter what twisted response they will try to give, it’s true. Dirty businesses have no place using “veteran owned” as a way to entice people and appear to be honest.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. World class athlete coach/ owner / world champion.Couldn’t pick a better place when in Plano to train.Clean and new gym to get your mind and body right.

Best gym around, if you want to push yourself go here. Best coaching staff around second to none!

Today is the first day to my kids and they love the place and the couches take care of the kids and they training them well thanks for everyone to keeping the place clean and nice

My husband and I trained here for a few weeks while living in The Colony and we were blown away by the McSweeney Team’s professionalism, community and dedication to teaching MMA. We are so thankful for our time with them and we hope to come back soon. I highly recommend this gym for amateur and professional fighters!

Working out here has been a game changer. The facility itself is a real gem. it as a huge space with pretty much everything you could ask for, from aerodyne bikes, treadmills, punching bags, weights, mats, tires for tire flips. The skill level and quality of teaching is unmatched, between Coach McSweeney, Coach Obi, and Coach Cameron there is a wealth of knowledge. This place makes you feel like family, welcomes you in no matter what level youre at. I appreciated the environment so much I ended up signing up my son for the junior hammers program, and he absolutely loves it. I cant wait to continue to grow and challenge myself physically and mentally.

Love the atmosphere and service that’s there! Since joining, they are part of my life and now family! Coach is preparing me to at least the possibility to compete someday and I can’t thank him enough! Much love to the gym!

RESPONSE: no this is not spam, it was under my husbands name Roy Perez. We have called multiple times, sent several emails and have verbally been told by McSweeney himself in person that he will get this addressed. We have made numerous attempts to get our refund so you are incorrect in that just a phone call will get this resolved as we’ve gone above and beyond that.Won’t give us our money back after we canceled and they continued to charge us for a couple months afterwards. They did stop charging eventually (after going through several hoops), but just keep giving excuses as to why they haven’t refunded us. He’s even agreed that we are owed the refund but won’t process it. They still owe us from charges 6 months ago. Hopefully this will make them take the time to give us what’s owed as it seems McSweeney himself does not care about you unless you are a paying customer.

James is a great trainer, good man with a good heart. Absolutely recommend this place.

-Do not give these people your credit card information. They make it very difficult to cancel after you sign up. They will tell you there is 0$ cancellation fee when you sign up. However in the fine print of the contract you are required to give a 30 day notice PLUS a 5 day processing period, 35 days. So if you sign up December 1st and cancel December 2nd you’ll be charged for December and January per their 35 day policy. It’s ridiculous.- you will not see a mask in the entirety of the gym. The people working out I understand, but not even the coaches or front desk people wear masks-I normally don’t write bad reviews but I am in this case in hopes to save someone else from the hassle.

They will keep charging you even after you cancel during a FREE TRIAL, tried to charge twice even after they were notified after the 2nd day of free trial that I was no longer interested in continuing. They are money hungry and don’t care but to charge you numerous times even if you canceled. Save yourself the time and money and make sure to report the gym if this happens to you!!! And of course they have the audacity to comment under every bad review saying it must be a “fake review” I fell for that trap and ended up being one of those people being scammed by them!! WATCH OUT!

I’ve been to a few other gyms in the DFW metroplex and I gotta say this is the best gym by far! If you’re looking to lose weight and learn some MMA, this is the place to be. Coach James Mcsweeney is very attentive with every student and his resume speaks for itself. Joining this gym has been life changing for me!

The BEST mma gym around! Coach McSweeney, coach Obi, coach Cameron, and coach Joe invest time and effort into each student. Coach McSweeney is one of the most giving individuals Ive ever met. I was hooked from the first day, after my first class I knew this would be my new gym home. From group classes including martial arts for all skill levels, HIIT, and conditioning to individualized personal one-on-one training programs, you definitely get out what you put in here.World class athletes pushing you to be better one day at a time!! I wish I would have found this gym sooner, it has become my second home, its members my second family. My daughter loves the kids classes and has grown quite fond of all of the coaches. So thankful to have such positive role models in her life.I encourage you to come see what its all about!

I have been a member of McSweeneys MMA center for a year and by far is the best place to train for MMA in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area!I am down 25lbs and feel better than I have since I was in college. I feel more skilled and prepared. They bring in the top fighters and trainers from across the world including Ricky Lundell and Alistair Overeem. I highly recommend become a member and becoming a member of the Mixed Marshal Arts!

This is the 3rd gym I’ve trained at in the DFW and it’s by far my favorite. The variety in classes is attractive for anyone looking to get into mma or just get in shape in general. The coaching staff is very friendly and helpful. I have nothing but good things to say about James McSweeney and his team!

The best you will find anywhere in Texas hands down. Nowhere comes close. Whether youre wanting to fight for a living or just get in shape. This is the place to be. If you want to actually learn how to fight instead of learning to look cool on Instagram this is the place to be.

Amazing gym, I have had the privilege of training at a few MMA gyms here in the DFW area; however, I have yet to find a gym with the high quality amenities this gym has with the high level of training they offer. Most certainly recommend to anyone searching for a place to begin training.

Always super friendly and you get to see her pup when you come in! Perfect for working out in the mornings without feeling crowded.

Its my first time at a Martial arts school and everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and encouraging!!! The owner/instructor James is very involved and attentive to his students. This is definitely a gym I recommended to anyone considering learning martial arts.

This gym is on the cutting edge when it comes to technical mma training. Additionally the gym provides a very friendly and safe atmosphere that welcomes anyone to train. Highly recommended.

Awesome place for whole family. The kids get a good workout and so do the adults

Went in to the gym during the grand opening. Coach Mcsweeney and the rest of the staff were real cool and very friendly. The gym already has a lot of character and heart.

I canceled in November and they keep charging me ! If you have the same problem Please report them with you bank 👍

The best dutch kickboxing youll find! And the best coach in the world

Great place to workout and learn how to defend yourself.

Had a great 1st day, cant wait to go back!!!

Awesome Gym and Staff
